Libluini posted:Don't forget if you're an explorer, you won't have RES nor trading, since we're out there in the great beyond. Not much to shoot at or trade with here. So we only get money from our exploration alone. But scanning down everything, even everything worthwile, would lead to a fast burnout, so we have to travel at a more leisurely pace, which means even less money. Well, I also play since december but somehow explored my way into an Asp + Vulture + Courier + Clipper + 50 mil, I HAVE done some trading and RES hunting but no more than just a faw evenings. Clipper is a LONG way from being fitted properly. I think this money might be due to CG abuse?

chaosapiant posted:What's the consensus on reverse throttle controls on a HOTAS? I'm currently using my X52 as a full range forward throttle, with a reverse toggle button for reverse thrusters. Looking at Youtube vids of folks mastering FA mode makes me think that having throttle forward/half reverse might be better, as well as free up the toggle button for something else. I hope these words make sense to space nerds. This little slider on throttle stick is perfect for forward/bakwards switching IMO.

chaosapiant posted:So I played around last night with this method of control and...I dunno. I don't like it. It might take getting used to because I keep throwing myself into reverse, or lurching forward from the pad when trying to lift off because my throttle is ever so slightly forward. I didn't edit the deadzone though, but it still feels unnatural as a whole. Try setting it for the slider, feel very intiutive for me. Slider forward is forward, slider back is reverse.

Is it just me or ships and ship effects like thrusters look significantly worse in CQC than in normal game? It is very noticeable when they show you your killer

double riveting posted:I read between the lines of a Frontier dev somewhere that CQC uses different graphics code than the main game. Reason appears to be that the main game makes only 30fps on XBone; this way they get CQC to do 60. Yes I do, gtx 980 and everything else on pretty much same level.

So - I have about a 100 mil in free assets, the question is trade Python or T9? 250 cargo space isn't a very big improvement over ~200 that my Clipper can carry. So - is outpost landing preferable over 500 loving tons, opinions goons?

SharkTattoos posted:So I started a couple days ago. Got a couple million and a well fitted Cobra. Is this Robigo thing just go to robigo, take missions, profit or is there some catch I can't find anywhere? Keep logging out and in into different game modes to refresh mission board until you get lucky and see 4-5 mil mission and take it. Keep doing until you see another or a mission that needs you to go the same station as previously taken mission or 2 missions that go to the same station or another 4-5 mil mission. Keep doing until your hold is full than go deliver everything. You can also sell all the materials they gave you and take even more missions but I will not even go there.

Mercurius posted:We have our own little NPC faction which was added last patch called the Diamond Frogs which we're trying to expand around to other systems using the in-game NPC faction influence system (which you might've seen referred to as the BGS or background simulation) and so lots of people are involved with that and doing all sorts of stuff with them because it gives us a common goal. At the end of the day though they're just an NPC faction full of bloodthirsty assholes who will sit there and not really interact with anything if we don't do things for them so because this is a sandbox we're kind of having to make our own game content. Why exactly did goons adopt Diamond Frogs again? i kind of missed the transition and never moved my stuff from Beta-1

Danknificent posted:Gross. I'll optimistically choose to believe that someday they'll see the light and get some paint in game. Up until Asp (8 million) is pretty easy and then it gets grindy. I've been playing since launch, so nearly a year and only just bought a Python (50 milllion or so) last week. Although it's definitely possible to get it sooner depending on your playstyle and whether you sell your old ships (I didn't, kept the ones that I liked).

Well, my battle with game's aliasing ended with great success. After trying various options and failing to produce satisfactory result I decided to let Nvidia do the work and used recommended settings from Geforce Experience which decided to ignore ingame scaling in favour of it's own DSR and the result was stunning. It's amazing how much better the stations and cockpit looks without jagged lines everywhere. Just had to force vsync in control panel because ingame option was killing framerate for some reason and everything's perfect.

Ugh, after some heavy poop-touching I think I'm done with FD forums for awhile. Pls people don't stop, keep posting good and correct opinions - if these ridiculous sperglords manage to push such blatantly bad and unfun elements into the game, we can definitely get FD to make something good with some effort.

I just had a jaw-dropping near death experience for it's sheer stupidity. I decided it's time to finally A-grade my old clipper that was sitting somewhere for some months. I grab it, go to Lembava, buy most of my stuff including an enormous 50 mil shield and continue on to Diaguandri to buy the rest - among other things the loving power plant! Get interdicted, submit, deploy hardpoints and haha shields offline, thrusters offline and to add insult to injury even the goddamned life support. I felt so extremely stupid I just set there for a couple of seconds unable to believe that it really happened. Can't move, no shield, no air, I just retracted hardpoints and GTFO of there.
